CHANGING TO WEEKLY BLOG--

I am lumbering toward a year’s worth of consecutive, daily blog postings—but, I am running out of gas.

Just try it some time. Write one note to your best friend—every day, and see how long you can keep that up. It’s quite a challenge.

The counter on my blog yesterday said I had already made 395 posts over a string of 302 days. (Many days had more than one topic.) Mercy!

I am now planning on taking a week’s vacation immediately after Thanksgiving. When I return, I will be changing to a weekly version of Fogeyisms on December 1st; posting at least one feature-sized item every Saturday.

With a week between postings, then, I can envision being a bit more expansive—going into greater detail in the narratives. Likely I’ll be using more pictures to illustrate the pieces. That’s like the magazine rather than daily news format.

Perhaps there will be more than one subject treated on those weekly presentations.

Naturally, if something timely comes along I will occasionally post mid-week, or whatever.

Here’s a little ditty I wrote back near the beginning; something I’ve held in reserve until the day arrived when I was truly out of gas:

NOTHING TO SAY--

Here I sit with absolutely nothing meaningful to say today.

When my late bride would encounter that phenomenon in me she never failed to express her gratitude.

Fortunately I never reached that day. And, now that I have decided to change to weekly blogs, I really feel relieved.

Thanks for being out there and please stay tuned!
